Essie Caye

Essie Caye – Emotional Honesty and Connection Essie Caye’s heartfelt alt pop blends confessional storytelling with layered rock and pop-rock elements, combining the raw honesty of a singer-songwriter with emotional vocal performances and evocative soundscapes. Perfect for late-night playlists or mood-driven pop mixes, her songs transform vulnerability into connection, offering listeners an unfiltered look into her inner world. Her music resonates with fans of artists like Gracie Abrams, Olivia O’Brien, Taylor Bickett, Sam MacPherson, and Priscilla Ahn, offering an unfiltered, confessional tone while carving out her own space in the alt pop landscape. Every lyric feels like an emotional snapshot—sometimes brutally honest, sometimes dressed in metaphor—but always rooted in real experiences, written as a way to process and heal. Essie first emerged with her demo EP papercuts & playing cards on SoundCloud, which quickly passed 2,000 streams and marked the beginning of her journey. She has since performed at legendary Los Angeles venues such as The Troubadour, The Roxy, and The Mint, and debuted her originals live with her band in late 2024. Now signed to Rexius Records, Essie Caye is preparing a run of new singles. With her mix of alt pop energy and bold, diary-like honesty, she continues to craft songs that feel both deeply personal and universally relatable.
